advanced clinical trials in the treatment of HIV and the development of new
rapid testing of a broad range of infectious organisms using molecular beacons.
The Department of Medicine is at the forefront of generating new insights into
the mechanisms of diseases in Heart Failure, HIV, Tuberculosis, and in the
areas of Immunity and Inflammation that underlie many chronic modern day
illnesses.
